Assessment Description
This assignment will incorporate a common practical tool in helping clinicians begin to ethically analyze a case.
Organizing the data by means of the four boxes approach to analyze the case will help you apply the four
principles (beneficence, nonmaleficence, respect for autonomy, and justice).
Based on the reading of the “Case Study: Healing and Autonomy” and topic Resources, you will complete the
“Applying the Four Principles: Case Study” document by including the following:
Part 1: Chart This chart will formalize the application of the four boxes approach by organizing the data from the case study
according to the relevant principles of biomedical ethics: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice.
Part 2: Evaluation
This part includes questions that evaluate how the four principles approach would be applied according to the
Christian worldview.
Support your response using only Chapter 3 from the textbook Practicing Dignity: An Introduction to Christian
Values and Decision-Making in Health Care and the Topic 3 Resource “Rising to ‘The Highest Morals’ -The Rich
History of Nursing Ethics.”
